Don't you just love to be British?

Why because YOU say so ?

First of all pride is not rational or irrational it is a feeling, whether you liberal socialists choose to accept it or not.

I am proud of my ancestors and their achievments, that does not mean I take credit for them. That pride in my fellow Britons and my ancestors drives me to better myself.
Who are you to actually say to someones face "you can't be proud of achievements you werent proud of" Whta gives you the right ot tell people what they should be proud of and what they should not.

I would never criticise you for not being proud of Britains achivements because I have no right to tell you what to be proud of. However, the trouble with you liberal socialist types is that you are a satire of yourself, you contradict your tolerance. You refuse to accept any other opinion but yourself.

I am proud of my country, my ancestors, their history and their achievments and I will be ****ed if some arse is going to tell me I should not be.

Oooo ouch, burned me bad there. I think I should go and cry.

Why should we accept Muslims into this country ?

I am extremely proud to be British. I genuinely believe that it is the most prestigious and respected nationality on the planet.
I also think it has one of the greatest histories, and well let's face it...we freakin' ruled the world with the empire. So much achieved whilst being a tiny little island.

Britain proved that brains is the best weapon of all I'm very patriotic about this country, even though I'm British-Asian (of arab descent) but I would die fighting for this country any day of the week

People find this odd but I still somewhat hold traditional imperialist ideals and philosophies, I'm very proud of the British empire and wish it still existed today at the scale it did a century ago. Although I don't agree with the methods and the injustice of the regime, especially as my grandfather and great grandfather were at the receiving end of the brutality.

However, I'm absolutely ashamed and embarrassed of current british society, culture, economy, politics...and the damn people! It angers me that the **** population is damaging this once-great country. I'm afraid Britain is no longer a progressive nation, nor a prosperous one.

I used to complain a lot before but that's because in my mind I still believed that we're one of the greatest countries on the planet. But now I've had to come to terms with this country just being a shadow of it's former-self, just filled with poverty and problems and no more prosperity. We have fallen behind other countries so much it's unbelievable.

19-20th century Britain all the way

According to Wikepedia, "At its height it [the British Empire] was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power."

It's so great to be a Briton we are so proud.

That's exactly the sort of attitude I'm talking about. Muslims have every right to stay on this land weather you like it or not. So if a muslim is born here, they should go back to the parents country? **** off!

I am not advocating deporting Muslims, thats not what I said. What I asked was why should we accept them into our society ?

I like being British. I recognise the advantages I have had by being brought up in this country that I wouldn't have had in other places. But proud? Why would I be proud of something I can't control, and in the case of the Empire, doesn't even exist anymore? The British Empire isn't something we should be holding on to - it is essential that we let go of this exploitative past and progress into an inclusive, open society.

Make yourself clear next time.

If muslims which to integrate into your way of British life that's up to them. If you choose to accept them for who they are, that's up to you. I really couldn't a **** if you hate muslims or don't want to accept them into this society they were born into.

Actually the British were pretty decent to the Indians when compared with the Americans. That's why they almost all supported us in the American War of Independence and the War of 1812.



No they didn't. I'm sure the Nationalist bull-**** stories tell you it was the evil English who stopped Welsh being spoken in schools - in reality, in the Victorian era education was a responsibility of local school boards and, latterly, county councils. Indeed, if the Welsh language was discouraged, it was by Welsh people. They realised, as I'm sure certain English people did, that being monoglot speakers of a small minority language is far from a good thing.

Not to mention Wales was not an imperial possession, it was part of the mother country.
